A Sale Price Compared to Recent Property Purchases Nearby
Today, the Beverly House is currently listed for a modest $125 million in terms of the purchase price and is ready for an immediate sale. It was originally constructed in 1927 and reflects an H-form design-build that was the fashion at the time for large homes and mansions.

The Beverly House currently also includes multiple features for entertainment and enjoyment, including a billiards room, a spa, arched ceilings, and numerous installed fixture pieces originally brought over for the Heart Castle located in San Simeon, CA (flooring and a carved fireplace for example).

With a unique style known as a “Mediterranean Estate,” the Beverly House epitomizes old luxury and style with majestic outdoor pools and lush gardens crowned with mature, full trees. A blend of Spanish stucco style and Moroccan outdoor hints almost give a visitor a feel of being someone in Southern Europe or even North Africa. And with a multi-pool trailing water feature into the main pool, one would be forgiven for feeling like he or she went back in time to decadent Rome.
